Mind and Brain

Originally published in 1988 as a single-volume hardback edition Mind and Brain and The Consequences of Determinism consider the three principal issues of the philosophy of mind: the exact nature of the relation between mental and neural events; how both sorts of events come about; and their relation to actions. The answers that Honderich provides in Volume I constitute a new determinist philosophy of mind. He proceeds in Volume II to explore the consequences of that position considering what the truth of determinism means for among other things our life-hopes our attitudes towards others and our view of moral responsibility.
